Chapter 518: Two People’s Past (2)
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao arrived late tonight, and after all this trouble, they had no classes in the evening.
The three of them left the cowshed together.
“Brother Zhou, you have to talk to Aunt Wu and the others. Don’t do this again.
You guys always give me gifts, and I feel guilty accepting them."
"Xiaoxue, I will tell them.
But I have never had much say in front of them, so if you can't make sense, you can't blame me." Zhou Mingxuan didn't say anything final.
Zhao Junhao was worried that the two would get into a stalemate, so he quickly changed the subject, "We've already got the salt, and we've bought the jars, when do you think we should go into the mountains to hunt?"
"Let's wait two more days. We've been to town several times in the past few days, but we haven't done our job properly. It's really distracting.
In the next few days, the two of us will work honestly, and when other people's eyes are no longer on us, we will go into the mountains again." Zhou Mingxuan said.
Liu Jingxue said, "I am quite familiar with the mountain behind. I know where prey may be found. I will take you to find prey when the time comes.
You are the main force of this hunt. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not take action. Let's see how good you two are."
Although they wanted to witness Liu Jingxue's skills with their own eyes, they also knew that with Liu Jingxue by their side to support them, they could deal with large wild beasts without any worries. This was a rare opportunity.
If Grandpa Zou hadn't stepped forward this time, they would have hardly had such an opportunity, so the two of them naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Okay, let's do as you say, Xiaoxue. If you don't take action, the two of us will deal with the prey.
We both want to know what level we are at now.”
"Don't worry, you two. I'm here with you. I will definitely not let you get hurt or disabled by the wild beasts."
Zhou Mingxuan said, "Xiaoxue, don't protect us too much. It's okay to get hurt. As long as the situation is not too dangerous, don't take action.
We have been here for a long time, and we have to face these things on our own. It is impossible for you to be our bodyguard every time we go into the mountains."
Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "Minor injuries are fine, but serious injuries are not. I won't be able to explain to Grandpa Wu then.
After this, we won't be short of meat in the short term, and you don't need to deal with those large animals. Just wait a few more months.
Don't be impatient. You have only been practicing ancient martial arts for half a month. Your skills have improved a lot compared to before, but not much.
After you practice for a few months, you will find that you have undergone a complete transformation.”
"We practice every day. I'm not bragging, but I feel my skills are much better than before." Zhao Junhao threw a punch and said proudly.
"When I go back next time, I will definitely blind those people's eyes and let them know how powerful I am."
Liu Jingxue smiled, "Then you have to wait. The rule here is that educated youth have to stay for almost two years before they can take home leave.
But these two years are enough for you to train yourself to be better than ten of your predecessors."
"That's great. When I go back, I will kill everyone and beat down all those who looked down on my skills before." Zhao Junhao said harshly.
Zhou Mingxuan smiled and said, "When the time comes, the old men in the compound will see how capable you are and come to your house one by one to ask your old man to send you to the army, and they will even compete to get you to join their own army."
Zhao Junhao waved his hand proudly, "Then I will say that I look down on their troops.
When I was weak, they looked down on me and were picky about me. Now that I’m strong, I don’t look down on them anymore.”
"Then your father beat you up and took you to various houses to apologize."
Thinking of that scene, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Junhao touched his head and said, "I was beaten by my parents when I was weak. Why do I still get beaten when I become strong?"
"Who made you so arrogant that you started to talk without thinking? If I don't beat you up, who else should I beat?
You still look down on their troops. Do you think you have as much ability as Xiaoxue?
Even if you have practiced for two years, you still have to be more restrained when you return. Some troops do not teach simple boxing and kicking skills, but real killing skills. If they really want to fight, you will not be able to defeat them. "
Liu Jingxue also said, "What you practice is a serious ancient martial art, not a killing skill. If you meet someone like that, you may not be able to defeat him."
“Then I will beat up all those people who said bad things about me in the arena.
If someone asked me to join the army, I would say that it was fine for me to be an educated youth in the countryside, and that was why I didn’t want to join the army.”
Liu Jingxue was a little puzzled. Why didn't these two people like to be soldiers? Logically, since their family members were in the army, they shouldn't be eager to join the army.
When she received the original owner's memory, she discovered that although the original owner had promised his grandparents not to join the army, the original owner still wanted to join the army in his heart.
It's a pity that the original owner's body was taken over by her. Although she learned a lot of skills and gained supernatural powers by taking the Dragon Power Pill, she couldn't stand the constraints of being a soldier and still didn't want to join the army.
"Why are you two so disgusted with being in the army? Everyone in your family is in the army, so you shouldn't be influenced by your family environment. Do you like being in the army?" Liu Jingxue couldn't help but ask her doubts.
"What's so good about being a soldier? You're away from home all year round and you can't take care of your family at all.
For example, when I was a child, I never saw my parents until I was several years old.
My father was in the army all year round and my mother followed the army, but she also had her own job and had to take care of my two brothers, so she had no way to take care of me.
My grandfather was in a high position and was extremely busy. My grandmother died early, so I was left to my grandfather.
Later, when I grew up a little, my grandfather would take me to the army to live with them for a period of time every year. But even when I was in the army, I could only see my father before going to bed at night, and I couldn't see him at other times.
Later, he was transferred back to Beijing, and I moved back to the compound because I had to go to school, so our family had more opportunities to spend time together.
But even so, I rarely communicate with my father, after all, he spends more time in the army than at home.
By the time he returns to live in the compound, I will be too old to need a father or mother."
“Perhaps because I have more opportunities to be with my grandfather, my relationship with him is better than that with other family members.
My parents are very good to me, they always meet my requests and never force me, but I always feel that their kindness to me is more of a compensatory mentality.
Perhaps because they spent more time in the army with them, my two older brothers were more influenced by my father. They joined the army when they were old enough and are doing well now.
I was raised by my grandfather and was greatly influenced by him, so I like doing business.
I have lived in Beijing with my grandfather for many years, and have interacted with many non-military families. I have seen many ordinary families living together, with loving fathers and filial children, and happy families. I hope my future family will be like this, and I don’t want my children to go through what I have gone through.
That's why I hate being a soldier. I'd do anything except being a soldier." Zhou Mingxuan said in a low voice.
